Quite a lot will be humble bundle games.
Also what valve tend to do is not list a game as being available for Linux while it is is beta on steam unless you hunt for that game_________________The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter

Im just casual gamer and mostly use only PS3 for gaming. Still i think this is one of the great achievements in linux/FOSS history. Im sure soon there will be great GPU/openGL support and wide range of games. I currently have only intel MHD4500 gpu but i surely will support valve for their choise on linux support. Im even considering buying more powerful laptop for gaming in near future. This is great news! _________________https://github.com/defer-

gah, steam requires pulseaudio? damn, pulseaudio totally screws up heaps of things on my system.. mplayer for example will play half a second of audio then sit there and choke until I force-kill it

is there any way to have pulseaudio installed without it getting its sticky tendrils all the way through my sound system?

Are you on x86?

It's not listed as a dependency (at our wikki) for amd64 (and I certainly don't have it), so the way I see it, it should work without it. However, I'm not entirely sure why it would be a x86-only dependency... so perhaps whatever Steam wants from it, is provided by the emul-linux-x86 on amd64?

That said, net-misc/networkmanager is also mentioned as an amd64 dependency, and I've not had that either!_________________Kind Regards,

Greetings,
I'm a noob regarding both gentoo and linux world (even though i'm slowly learning), and I'd like to have a clear suggestion on wether trying to install steam chrooting in 32bit and using the overlay or using multilibs in my normal environment (x86_64). From what I've read here, you suggest to avoid using the overlay, while people on the IRC channel have told me the opposite, saying the x86 emul is out of date and might easily sort problems. Is it possible to manually create a set in a 32bit chrooted environment, without using the overlay? And if so, how to create the chrooting wrapper script? (i've read that in the steam wiki, googled some about creating wrapper scripts but haven't understood much).

@gastromush I wouldn't suggest setting up a chroot environment while you're a noob. Just install it from the overlay (without any chroot) and see if it works. If you encounter any problems you can always uninstall it and setup a chroot later.

Newly added mesa with -r1 should support multilib. Try it. But I'm not sure since didn't tried it myself.
